Making the Most of your Travel Adventure Photos

If you are anything like me, every time you go somewhere new, you take a bunch of new photos. I do this for various reasons, but mainly because I want to capture the moment and be able to share it with others.

Actually look at your photos

Looking at your holiday snaps is a great way to bring back happy memories. On a cold, gloomy day, looking at photos of your last beach vacation is a great way to lift your spirits.

Organise them properly

The only problem is that, in time, we forget where our best photos are stored and cannot easily find the ones we want. That is why I recommend that you have a system. When you get home go through them and upload those that you want to save. Be ruthless if a shot is not very good, delete it. Only keep the best ones. Label them properly and organize them in files that are named in a way that enables you to quickly understand what is in them.

Display some of them in your home

If you take this approach, when you want to create some new artwork for your home like these you will be able to quickly find the images you want to use. Before you upload them to the website of your chosen print firm take the time to crop and enhance each image. If you do not know how to do this, do not worry, you can soon learn. There are some great videos available online that show you exactly what to do.

You can use a free photo manipulation package, like the one you can download from this page to get the images to look right. Before you send it out it may be work printing off a full-scale copy using your printer and taping each sheet together.

Taking this approach will give you a better idea of how the finished print will look, especially if you use Blu Tac to stick it onto the wall where you plan to display it. This will also help you to confirm that you are ordering the right size print. If you travel with others consider sending them a copy of one of your photos as a canvas print. They make great gifts. Most people will find somewhere in their home to hang a gift like this.

Use them for your tech devices

Most of us carry our phones everywhere, which makes them a great place to keep some of your favorite holiday photos. You can store some of them on your phone, so you can show them to others when they show an interest. It is also really easy to turn some of your snaps into to screensavers for your phone. Plus, some print firms have access to printers that enable them to print your best photos onto items like phone or laptop covers. These are not much more expensive than a standard cover would be. They also make great gifts.

So, as you can see, there really is no need to forget your best holiday moments. You can easily employ some of the suggestions above, so you can actually see and enjoy your holiday photos. Something that will bring the good memories flooding back.
